Reflection

“[N]o one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins.” –Luke 5:37-38

Prayer

God of tomorrow,

We pause in your presence and recommit as a ministry to keep our eyes fixed on your mission on the move, and to follow your Spirit’s leading as best we know how. Let us foster a ministry culture that welcomes innovative solutions to the challenges we face, where associates know they’ll be supported for trying new things—even if every plan may not work out as intended. Grace us with faith undaunted by risk, and the trust that believes you are always inviting us to do something new, in partnership with you. Amen.

Call to Action

Is there something new I’ve wanted to try that might help my work and ministry, but I’ve been too afraid or sheepish to mention? Muster the courage to say something today.
